Reducing Energy Use

Getting you the information

There are lots of ways to reduce the energy use and carbon dioxide emissions of your home or business. Some of them are about energy efficiency and some are about generating your own renewable energy.

There are also ways to be less dependent on water and sewerage services, which save energy indirectly and reduce the pressure on the drains.

We explain to you what solutions are available and help you decide which are most suitable for your home.

Doing the legwork

Once you decide which solutions to go for, we help you find an installer or supplier. There are many companies out there. We can research the market and get you several quotations, or you might decide to use one of the installers we have worked with in the past and who we know are reliable and offer value for money.

Helping you pay for it

There are various grants available towards energy efficiency and renewable energy solutions. We can find out which you would be eligible for and apply for you. We can also help you find a financial package so you can pay in a way you can afford.

But do the solutions really work?

You might understandably be wary of some solutions if you don't know anyone who is already using them. We can put you in touch with users so you can find out first hand if they really work.

Independent, tailored advice

Our advice and service is tailored to your particular circumstances and is genuinely independent. Earthmine gets no commission from any suppliers or installers, and if we recommend one it’s simply because we have experience that they do a good job.

Parity Home Energy Masterplan

Earthmine is now offering the Parity Home Energy Masterplan in partnership with the Green Energy Centre and Parity Projects to help you identify the most effective ways to reduce energy use in your home. The Green Energy Centre has brought the Parity Home Energy Masterplan to Sheffield because it gives householders a tailored and accurate assessment of the ways to reduce energy use in their home. The report shows the financial and CO2 savings of all available options as well as the likely cost, so you can be sure you will get the maximum savings for your investment.

The first stage is a survey of your home by Jo of Earthmine to identify the construction and energy use, which includes an interview with you to get information about how you use your home. This information is then sent off to Parity Projects who analyse it using their software. They then send back the completed report which Jo will go through with you.

You are then in a position to decide on an effective plan of action to make your home more energy efficient, and Earthmine's continued support in this would be available.

Contact Earthmine to arrange a survey.
